Had the call we all dread, please can you collect DD from training, she's injured herself
Turns out, she hit her foot against the wall bars. Looks ok, but got a relative who works in A&E at hospital (ER for the non brits) to check her out. She suspects broken toe, but says the hospital won't xray because it's not get big toe, and they don't do anything for broken toes anyway. So DD is currently sporting a lovely set of taped toes to see how she goes over the next few days.
Luckily DD isn't competing now until the autumn, but she's desperate to still go to training. As her next day in the gym isn't until Saturday now what with the easter holidays, I've said we'll see how she goes between now and then.
Would you let your DD/DS still go to training in this situation, even if just for strength and conditioning work?
I have never broken a bone before, so I don't know what level of pain she's actually in, so it's really tricky to know whether she's playing it down or not!
